"By the year 2000, the Eco-Torus will solve the problems of world hunger and overpopulation. Our scientists, both men AND women, are working hard to make this dream come true in your lifetime."

The inner edge of a gigantic space-borne bicycle wheel. Official NASA word: "torus". One of our old "artificial gravity" techniques (centrifugal force, big time).

Quite neat. :P

Sure it looks nice but the Coriolis effect really screws up a baseball game.

Did Mead have any contributions to Disney's Epcot rides? I remember that one (now closed down) where it was a slow moving ride in a pod showing what the future would look like (video phone conferencing), life on the moon in zero-g, endless automated crop farming, flying cars, etc.)? This looks like a wall mural taken directly from that, brings me right back to a child's imagination in the early 80's.
